Life is beautiful – advertising photography just helps us see the beauty lying around us, things that we fail to see otherwise. Advertising photography is that art that helps us make our lives better and happier. It is powerful and useful. It informs us and helps us look at the brighter picture of everything that surrounds us. It is also the window to help us see things that lie ahead, what we can expect in the future and what opportunities the forthcoming years would bring.

As a commercial photographer, you would always need lots of practice and experience to keep learning the art and the nuances of photography. If you are a budding commercial photographer, an amateur, a dabbler you would need a lot of training to know the skill and get better at it, in order to be successful. Or even if you have years of experience and have got the due recognition and the love of clients, you still need lots and lots of practice and research to keep yourself updated and never rust.

But practising your art with a film camera is and has never been a very feasible idea. The only reason why film cameras have never been a very good option for practice is the cost that it entails.

And, therefore, how you see a picture and interpret it can be quite different from how I see and interpret it. And this difference is what a commercial photographer has to understand.

Oblique aerial photography is usually undertaken using a high-wing light aircraft and a photographer with a hand held camera.
